YHWH_GOD’S HOLY NAME

YAHWEH_ONE TRUE GOD

He weighs the burden of sigh,
He measures the pain of our heartaches,
He senses the sorrow of severance from
our loved ones,
He perceives the motive of a desire,
and discerns the aim of an aspiration.
He fully knows, sincerely loves and
gently cares for each one of us,
His people, His creation.

His creations have no independent
existence outside of Him.
He is the power that not only brings
them into being, also enables
them to continue existing.

Eternal Words of Yahweh/Jehovah

SCRIPTURES OF THE BIBLE

Scriptures are for our :-
Doctrine
Reproof
Learning
Correction
Admonition
Instructions in Righteousness
Learning to be perfect
Thoroughly Equipped in Good
and Fine Works

2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

16 All Scripture is inspired of God and
beneficial for teaching, for reproving,
for setting things straight, for
disciplining in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be fully
competent, completely equipped for
every good work.

BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Psalm : 19 : 7-14
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making
wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD
are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the
LORD is pure, enduring forever.

Psalm : 20
May the LORD answer you when you are in
distress; may the name of the God of Jacob
protect you. May he send you help from the
sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices and
accept your burnt offerings.

Psalm : 40
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned
to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out
of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock and gave me a
firm place to stand. He put a new song in
my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear and put their trust
in the LORD.

Psalm : 41
Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
The LORD will protect him and preserve his
life; he will bless him in the land and not
surrender him to the desire of his foes.
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed
and restore him from his bed of illness.

Psalm : 46
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present
help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though
the earth give way and the mountains fall into the
heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

IN PRAYER TO THE FATHER

PRAYER

PRAYER is WHEN YOU TALK TO GOD

MEDITATION is WHEN YOU LISTEN TO GOD

In Our Prayers Everyday,
we say :

Praise God for His grace
(Ephesians 1:6)

Praise God for His goodness
(Psalm 135:3)

Praise God for His kindness
(Psalm 117)

Praise God for His salvation
(Ephesians 2:8-9)

IN THE STILLNESS OF PRAYER

Prayer is so simple.
It is like quietly opening a door and
slipping into the very presence of God,
There in the stillness; to listen for
His voice.
Perhaps to petition or only to listen,
It matters not; just to be there,
In His presence, is Prayer!

PRAY

THANK GOD

TGIF

Thank God In Food, that you eat.
Thank God In Family, that you have.
Thank God In Friends, who stands by you.
Thank God In Finances, that you shall not be in want.
*kez*

HEBREWS 10 : 31

It is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of [the] living God.

*All Men should heed the Words
as Nothing is More Fearful than
standing before the One and Only
True Eternal and Everlasting
GOD *YAHWEH_JEHOVAH*
without your sins forgiven
and your name not written in the
*LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE*

JEREMIAH 9 : 23-24

Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
let not the mighty man glory in his might,
nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
but let him who glories glory in this,
that he understands and knows Me,
that I am YAHWEH/JEHOVAH,
One and Only True Eternal God,
exercising loving kindness, judgment
and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight.

ISAIAH 28 : 28

"GRAIN MUST BE GROUND TO MAKE BREAD"

To burn brightly our lives must first
experience the flame.
In other words, we cease to bless
others when we cease to bleed.

1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF
YAHWEH/JEHOVAH GOD,
ONE AND ONLY TRUE ETERNAL
ALMIGHTY GOD,
IN CHRIST YESHUA/JESUS
FOR YOU.

A Cry To God Above

I will not doubt though all my ships at sea,
come drifting home with broken masts and sails,
I shall believe the Hand that never fails,
from seeming evil worketh good for me.

And though I weep because those sails are battered,
still will I cry, while my best hopes lie shattered,
I trust in Thee.

A Cree Prophecy

When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot
eat money.

Ancient Wisdom

Inscribed on the walls of an ancient Persian Temple are these thoughts :

Do not say all you know, for he who says all he knows often says more than he knows.
Do not tell all you hear, for he who tells all he hears often tells more than he hears.
Do not spend all you have, for he who spends all he has often spends more than he has.
Do not covet all you see, for he who covets all he sees wants more than he sees.

Be a Kind Soul

For every sunrise; be the sun's ray
For every sunset; be the light in anyway
For everyone you meet;
be their inspiration and strength
For life's grandiose journey;
be the kind soul that heaven lent

Change

Everything that should change
stays the same,
and everything that should stay
the same changes.

Let go of things you can't change,
Focus on things you can.

You have got to make the CHOICE
to take a CHANCE,
if you want your life to CHANGE.

Four Things

Four things a man must learn to do

If he would make his record true:

To think without confusion clearly;

To love his fellow-men sincerely;

To act from honest motives purely;

To trust in God and Heaven securely.

*Henry Van Dyke* (1852 – 1933)

Honor

The loss of gold is much,
The loss of time is more;
The loss of honor, such a loss
As no man can restore.

Hold On …

Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe,
even if it's a tree that stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do,
even if it's a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,
even if it's easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand,
even if I'm gone away from you.

*A Pueblo Indian Prayer*

Kindness and Courage

Life is mostly froth and bubble,

Two things stand like stone;

Kindness is another's trouble,

Courage in your own.

*Adam Lindsay Gordon*

What Hast Thou Done On Earth?

GOD will not seek thy race,

Nor will HE ask thy birth;

Alone HE will demand of thee

"What has thou done on earth?"

*A Persian Saying*

Winner … Loser

The Winner is always a part of the answer.
The Loser is always a part of the problem.

The Winner always has a plan.
The Loser always has an excuse.

The Winner says, "Let me do it for you."
The Loser says, "That's not my Job."

The Winner sees an answer in every problem.
The Loser sees a problem in every answer.

The Winner sees a green near every sandtrap.
The Loser sees a sandtrap near every green.

The Winner says "It may be difficult but its possible."
The Loser says "It may be possible but its difficult"

The Roots of Violence :

Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.
